About Me

According to the publicity posters I’m a former journalist and ghostwriter turned novelist and thriller writer.My books are published in 23 languages including Korean, Indonesian, Hebrew and Estonian (don't ask me if the translations are any good.)I am also world Uno champion. (I use the term ‘world’ as a similar vein to baseball’s ‘world series’ which features no teams from outside of America.My Uno title featured no players from outside my immediate family. I beat my then six-year-old daughter in a grueling final.) Since then I have refused a rematch and become the reclusive Bobby Fisher of Uno.You can find out about my latest books on:WWW.MICHAELROBOTHAM.COM

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

An attractive single woman, 20-35, who likes travel, books and married men…(only kidding, dear). I’d like to stand outside bookstores and personally thank each person who buys my books. Sadly, this would rather cut into my writing time and also involve traveling to countries that I can’t spell let alone find on a map. (It could also see me arrested and thrown into a Turkish jail. Did you ever see Midnight Express?)
